The graphics which are used in Visio use standard images to utilise flowcharts, decision diagrams, playbooks and even network diagramming. It is a popular diagram tool for those working within an organisation, as it is not often used by home users.

Visio first began as a standalone product in 1992, and since then, there have been a number of updates and versions released.

It is particularly useful for those working in the IT industry as it can add
dimension to reports and other documents.
